Boots No7 Perfect Party Collection - An Amazing Deal

I have started to compile a huge list of Black Friday Deals here on my blog, some have already started and some brands have decided to wait until 27th November, but whatever the date, there are some amazing deals to grab and the one I am sharing today comes from Boots No7.

The party season is the best time to strut your stuff – whether on the dancefloor or over a video call, and the No7 Perfect Party Collection has you covered for all the cosmetics and skincare essentials you’ll need to look your best.

Now most of us will possibly be spending Office Christmas Parties over Zoom, Team, Blue Jeans or whatever system you use, it is definitely something we have already been discussing given the current circumstances and I'll be honest, I'm not wanting and am not a fan of spending my time in packed venues waiting for a warm Gin and Tonic anyway - so getting dressed up for Zoom definitely appeals.

Ole Henriksen Balance It All Skincare Set

Having left the U.K. back in 2017, Ole Henriksen, has the returned to UK and can now be found in places such as Boots, making it much easier to get your hands on.  I was kindly gifted the Ole Henriksen Balance It All Skincare Set, which is is on sale for £32* and it is described as being a fabulous set of oil control skincare essentials which are designed to mattify and reduce the appearance of pores, in one effortless routine to leave the skin feeling comfortable and never stripped.

The Ole Henriksen Balance It All Skincare Set is made up of three different products; the Ole Henriksen Balancing Force Oil Control Toner, Ole Henriksen Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator and the Ole Henrisksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser - a skincare routine in one box and better still, the sizes are enough to give you the chance to give them a try and see how much you like or hate them without spending a whole lot of money.

The first product I wanted to try was the Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser which comes in 60ml size. Said to be one of the brands best selling products, it is designed to not only reduce excess surface oil on the skin but to also deeply cleanse the pores. This cleanser is ideal for those smog us who have oily/combination skin and thankfully it doesn’t leave the skin feeling stripped of moisture. 

I’ve used this a lot since it arrived and it does do a great job at helping to minimise excess oil, which for me is usually on my nose and chin with dryness on both cheeks, so whilst this cleanser cleans it also helps loosen that dead skin which leaves your complexion looking dull.

The second product within this trio is the Balancing Force Oil Control Toner (60ml) and it is described as being a concentrated pore minimising toner effectively removes excess oil and refines pores—all without stripping skin

This toner, which has a really refreshing peppermint scent, is formulated with a Green Fusion Complex™ which in this case is described as being 'a proprietary blend of potent active botanicals' which includes green tea, eucalyptus, algae (kelp) and Irish moss extracts. Those botanicals work alongside a powerful blend of both beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) which you might know better as salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids, plus the inclusion of neem seed oil.  All of those ingredients together create a toner for oily skin has a gentle clarifying action that helps unclog, purify and minimise the appearance of pores.

On my skin, I have found it to be one toner which doesn't leave my skin begging for moisture after using it. I love the freshness of the scent and I love even more that it doesn't leave my skin feeling red after ive used it too.

The third and final product within this trio is the Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator. This is a product that Ole Henriksen wishes he had found for himself during his own oily skin struggles.

With its lightweight formula, this mattifying hydrator is designed to give those with oily and/or combination skin types the essential moisture they crave.  The formula, similarly to the Toner above is powered by a Green Fusion Complex™, again, this is a proprietary blend of potent active botanicals such as green tea, eucalyptus, algae (kelp) and Irish moss extracts and they work alongside the inclusion of neem seed oil and those powerful alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). What it does, is take those ingredient to help keep pores clear and skin matte all day long while maintaining optimal hydration and a healthy balance.

This is an incredible trio of skincare, definitely one to be looking into if you, like me, have oily/combination skin. It is a really good way to get to know a brand they offer kits such as this and even if you don't have oily/combination skin but want to know more, then over at Boots, Ole Henriksen has other kits available - you can find them right here*.

Glossybox - November Edition 2020

After the beautiful box offering from Glossybox for October, this month the theme is Make-up and Magic, a theme which is described as being one which is packed with products designed to create a little shimmer, glitter and glow as the end to 2020 rapidly approaches.

Inside the box there is five products from five brands and they include makeup, skincare, hair care and little something Limited Edition!

First out of the box is from LASplash Cosmetics with their Magic Eye-shadow Palette.  This eyeshadow palette urges you to summon mystical forces with the most magical highlighting palette ever created.

The palette features eight eyeshadow shades, which for someone like me who loves their neutral shades with the option to move from that subtle day eye to the more smoked evening look, this then ticks both of those boxes.  The eight shades are:

• Selenite - A Satin vanilla
• Sunstone - A satin naked peach tone
• Aragonite - An intense toasty orange matte shade 
• Tigers Eye - A Rich chocolate brown matte shade
• Rose Quartz - A silvery rose foil shade
• Citrine - A gold 24k foil shadow. 
• Amber - An intense copper foil shade.
• Onyx - An intense matte black blends easily to create the perfect smokey eye

Each shade featured is 10g and I love that whilst the palette is made from a really strong cardboard, it also features a mirror on the top half too.

The second item out of the box is the Limited Edition B07 Brush from Spectrum Collections and it is described as being a tall pointed blending brush.

Made with the softest of bristles, which are synthetic, this Limited Edition black and gold brush is tapered at the tip to give it that flame shaped brush that effortlessly glides across the lid and into the crease of the eye for seamless blending of pressed and powder pigments.

This months box has the choice of three masks included within the selection - two for the face and one for your hair.

The first one for your face comes from Que Bella with the Recharge and Restore Moonstone Glitter Gel Mask.

Described as being a hydrating mask to help leave your skin looking and feeling radiant, it contains enchanting moonstone extract which helps to rejuvenate the skin as well as conditioning caffeine. Other ingredients include charcoal powder which helps to detoxify the skin of impurities and excess oils, Sodium Hyaluronate which helps to plump and firm the skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Ad for the glitter particles, well they give the mask a whole lot of fun, but don't do anything for your skin.

The second mask comes from Generation Clay with the Ultraviolet Brightening Purple Clay Mask.

This Brightening Purple Clay Mask is described as being "a hard-working beauty hero that works to rejuvenate dull and tired skin while brightening dark circles and pigmentation". It is  infused with witch hazel to extract excess oil, Vitamin E to protect against free radicals and desert lime to boost hydration.

Then finally from Hask we have the Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner, something we could all do with I am sure. I know I could given it has been almost 8 months since a salon has been graced with my hair!

As a deep conditioner, this is a super strengthening, hydrating treatment that works to repair the look of dry, damaged and over-processed hair. It is formulated with organic argan oil, unique to Morocco and its job is to help reduce split-ends and leave the most damaged hair soft and nourished.

So there you have five products to make you feel fabulous and glam, even if for the time being you are moving from Bed to Sofa and perhaps to Tesco to do that food shop. I am a big believer in having a routine, even though I have been working from home since March. This includes face masks, hair masks, self-care Sundays and the application of makeup so I can look human on Zoom or Teams!

As you will all know, Glossybox is a beauty box subscription service and it costs as little as £11 per month here*. 

If you have followed the Glossybox journey over the past year, then you will know that most boxes sell out super quickly, so I expect this one to do just that.
